Enough is enough

I declare today the official Destroy a Clannad CD Day. Let's face it, buying Clannad was cool when we were in our late teens and early 20s and thought that pseudo-Celtic New Age frippery was a way to make ourselves seem more cool and intense. We also thought that seeming cool and intense would get us all laid more, and we all know how well that worked out.

When was the last time you actually listened to your Clannad albums? I thought as much. Your tastes have developed and you've grown more sophisticated. You can see their music for the chocolate box painting blandness that it is. It's time to throw away the McDonalds of folk music, the Burger King of Celtica.

Destroy those album, lest their curse prosper. Clannad must fall.

An Addendum

I've posted a brief addendum to my screed on Rock Scissors (or my jeremiad, as some would have it).

Mmmm. Knives.

Reviews

I've made a decision to split my posting into two chunks. Short, quicker and more personal stuff will stay here in the Livejournal. Longer and more detailed pieces of writing will be appears in my newly-designed blog, One Man And His Blog, a rather tedious name which puns on an old British TV show which I'm sure most of you will never have heard of or care about.

Anyway, I've posted a couple of reviews up there. Go look.
